In her hit Netflix comedy special Baby Cobra, an eight-month pregnant Ali Wong resonated so strongly that she even became a popular Halloween costume. Wong told the world her remarkably unfiltered thoughts on marriage, sex, Asian culture, working women, and why you never see new mom comics on stage but you sure see plenty of new dads.

Hysterically funny and moving
Revisado: 07-10-21
I’ve been a fan since I saw her Netflix special. While Ali’s stories are brutally honest and hysterically funny what really made this book touching was the ending by her husband. It is sweet, touching, and so much love. After all the laughter, he brings you back to what love and family is all about. It is really wonderful to hear from his perspective. I appreciate hearing from him and things from his perspective. Ali, you’ve got a wonderful man.

On the edge of 27, Jazzy hatches a plan for her and her best girlfriends, Sher, Imo, and Fann. Before the year is out, these Sarong Party Girls will all have spectacular weddings to rich ang moh - Western expat - husbands, with Chanel babies (the cutest status symbols of all) quickly to follow. Razor-sharp, spunky, and vulgarly brand-obsessed, Jazzy is a determined woman who doesn't lose.

Singlish! Oh Singlish!
Revisado: 04-13-18
Would you consider the audio edition of Sarong Party Girls to be better than the print version?
Yes. There is absolutely no way you can read this book, if you are non-Singaporean without knowing how Singlish actually sounds like. The narrator perfectly captures the nuance and pronunciation of every word, and the intonation perfectly.
What other book might you compare Sarong Party Girls to and why?
Crazy Rich Asians may be close, but totally different world. CRA feels like reading a fairy tale where the course of true love never runs smooth. In SPG, the dating scene of Singapore is seen from the POV of Jazzy, the main protagonist. She is more grounded, and much more relatable compared to Rachel Choo in CRA.
What about Angela Lin’s performance did you like?
Her inflection and pronunciation of every word, including the Hokkien swear words. Perfect in every way!
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Sex in the Lion City.
